User's Security Groups

Is there a way to view user's security groups with mxl script. Iwant to output every user's security groups and check if there isany user on the server that is not assigned to at least onesecurity gruop. Thanks,Jacob

also DISPLAY PRIVILEGE USER ALL; will list all privileges granted to a user directly. Any line that isn't "no access" means that the user has privileges assigned outside a group. I periodically do ann audit on our systems to ensure we have't got any direct users that have privileges granted outside groups. Of course anyone tagged individually as a supervisor will come up on this check.

People Picker can resolve users and security group from another domain but no validation for groups

Dear all,
Here is the scenario of our issue:
We are migrating from Domain A to Domain B and in Domain A we currently have a SharePoint 2013 on which we want to set permissions for users and groups that have already migrated to Domain B.
A bi-directional trust exist between the two domains and all applications relying on trust and resolving IDs from on domain to another are working fine (Windows RDS for instance)
The "bug" that we have is when using the PeoplePicker, it can resolve without any issue a user account in Domain A or B, and a security group (type global, I haven't tried local or universal yet) from domain A or B. But for the security groups
only (it works well for users), when I click on "Save" to validate the add of the group to the site permissions, I have the following error:
I have seen a lot of similar issues on the web but no answer so far that work :(
Example: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/74e8d14b-a0f4-4e21-8cfa-b1a937247160/cant-provision-security-to-old-domain-users
If you have any question that could help you to understand it, do not hesitate.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help ! :)

Can you give the snippet from the ULS log where you're seeing this error?

DBMS_LDAP adding user to security group on Active Directory

Hi forum members,
I am accessing and manipulating Active Directory using the DBMS_LDAP package and its API's.
My initial code is to add a new entry in our MUsers group.After establishing the session and binding it , I supply the required credentials and the user , ex: 366944 is created successfully in the MUsers group which is a global users group.
My package then calls another function to now add the same user to the MGroups group and under that the Researcher security group.
When I do a search on the "Researcher" group this is the result : (I have deleted a few irrelevant entries)
ATTIBUTE_NAME: objectClass = top
ATTIBUTE_NAME: objectClass = group
ATTIBUTE_NAME: cn = Researcher
ATTIBUTE_NAME: member = CN=3,OU=MUsers,DC=xxx,DC=yyy

The error descriptions reads like this :
Indicates that the add operation attempted to add an entry that already exists, or that the modify operation attempted to rename an entry to the name of an entry that already exists.
In this case , I am using the modify_s operation.I am supplying the credentials of the researcher group and trying to set the 'member' attribute as the user already existing in a diff group(MUsers).
The researcher group already has 3 uers , namely ,1,2 and 3 as members . These users are also part of MUsers group.
Hence I am not trying to rename any entry to the name of an entry that already exists.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Hi,
I tried the same code that you have mentioned and did some changes as follows and now able to add members to a group.
remove the section that contains the following commands, then it will work
h5. lv_vals(1) := 'group';
h5. DBMS_LDAP.populate_mod_array(lv_array,DBMS_LDAP.MOD_ADD,'objectclass',lv_vals);
Thanks & Best Regards,

Unable to resolve name in add user to security group screen

Hello Everybody,
Today I come to ask for advice from the FIM experts, it was just brought to my attention that when somebody tries to add a user to a security group by using the browse option they are able to search for the member and select them but when they
click on "Ok" the account isnt shown in the Members to add box. However if the person types in the full display name into the "members to add box" the user is successfully resolved.

After some intense research this issue is caused by an recent Microsoft update KB3008923. I have opened an microsoft support case after being informed of this issue. This is caused not by an FIM patch but by and internet explorer update. Please uninstall KB3008923
and your issue will be resolved. Or you can suggest to your users to use chrome with IE tab addon enabled as a walk around solution
I am awaiting microsoft to provide an hotfix for this issue but until then I have just instructed my users to do one of the listed tempory solutions above

Remove users from Sharepoint site security group

I have to close a share point 2007 site for all users for an update. I don't have access to CA. the easiest approach is to remove the users from security group and add them back when the site modification is done. All users all under "NT/Aunthenticated
users" and they are in Members group. I'm just wondering will it cause any issues when adding them back or it can be done in 1 click. Do i need any tweaks from CA side to add them back?
Any response is appreciated.
Thanks!

Once you add the users back to the site, it should work as expected.
>>Do i need any tweaks from CA side to add them back?
No i believe, because you are changing the permissions at site level.

Security group guidance

Hello,
I'm having all sorts of troubles getting security groups working within SharePoint. I'm aware of the various timeouts and caching that occur and have changed my WindowsTokenLifeTime to 30 minutes to pick up security group changes faster. However, I have
some areas in SharePoint where even after days, users in security groups with access to a site, library, or document still do not have access and they don't show up in Check Permissions. Also, I have some instances where a user, as a member of a security group
with access to a file, has access one day and then the next day does not. This happens for multiple users in multiple locations and I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any guidance other than this about using AD security groups in SharePoint?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261972(v=office.15).aspx
This is really messing with my head.
Our farm is SharePoint 2013 SP1. Some of my security groups have nested security groups, some don't, and both have these issues.
Thanks,
Aaron

I'm going to have to re-open this in a Reporting forum because this is so confusing.
So our setup is SSRS2012 on SharePoint 2013. We are doing item level permissions, which means we have an AD security group
Reports-All with Read to the Reports folder, then each actual report has unique permissions. We have a report with the
ProjectManagers AD security group on it with Read (plus some other stuff to let them manage subscriptions), and another AD security group
ProjectUsers with just Read access so they can open the reports. The data source used by this report has the AD security group I mentioned before,
Reports-All, with Read.
At a SharePoint level, things appear to work. When a user in ProjectManagers
or ProjectUsers browses to the library, they see only the 3 reports that those two security groups have permission to see (out of a lot more in the library). That means SharePoint is reading those security group memberships correctly
as far as I can tell.
The issue is when a user in ProjectManagers or ProjectUsers
clicks on a report, they get a reporting server based error message, and the ULS logs have an error specific to the user trying to run the report.
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'MyDomain\MyUser' are insufficient for performing this operation. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.ReportingServices.ServiceContract.RsExceptionInfo)
If I add that specific user with Read permissions to the report and the data source, they are then able to run the report without errors. It seems like some Report Server component is not liking the fact that I'm using security groups.
Even though I'm going to put this elsewhere I figured I'd expand on my situation here in case it's an obvious solution to someone.

Is there a way for an end user to see who has membership in a security group

Windows Server 2008 R2
Active Directory Domain
Windows 7 workstations
I am looking for a way that my end users can look at a folder security tab and then discover who has membership in the security groups listed.
Is that possible? Any drawbacks or concerns?

Hi Tod,
Based on my research, other than viewing group membership in ADUC, we can use this PowerShell cmdlet
Get-ADGroupMember GroupName and Net Group GroupName to view members in a group:
However, these commands can only be used on Domain Controllers or when connecting to DCs remotely. That’s because accounts and account membership are stored on Domain Controllers, therefore we can only view group membership on DCs.

Shared Calendars / Room Lists and automatically forcing them to users based on Security Group Membership

Good morning all,
I need some help achieving the following in our Exchange 2013 Environment. First off, we have Exchange 2013, but all our clients have Outlook 2010.
Here's what I would like to be able to do:
1) create/manage public calendars / rooms in exchange 2013
2) force these shared public calendars / rooms to users' calendars who are members of particular security groups
3) give edit permissions / "booking" permissions for the shared calendars so select users are able to make changes to the shared calendars, as well as accept/deny requests to "book" shared room calendars
Any one got any resources they can give to point me in the right direction?
I have already created two mailbox room resources, and have them set up in a room list in AD. But need to know the above as far as creating a shared calendar for events, and forcing these calendars / room lists out to users based on security group
membership.
I don't want my users to have to know how to add a shared calendar...that would be a nightmare explaining. I just want it to show up.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

1) I recommend using Room Mailboxes for resource calendars because it just works better.
2) This is a standard feature of a Room Mailbox.
3) You're pretty specific here, but I think this is also more or less available with a Room Mailbox combined with folder rights.
I don't know any way to just make them "show up". You'll have to teach them. Well written instructions can work wonders.

Grant access to help desk users to add members to distribution and security groups

Hello,
I am trying to create a set of help desk users that has full access to add or remove members from distribution and security groups as well as update users. We want it to bypass owner approval and essentially allow this group to add or remove members
in the FIM Portal and flow it down to ADS.
This obviously works fine if one is a member of the Administrators set, but we want a second tier of power users with limitied rights compared to FIM Admins. We have added the help desk team to the Security Group Users and Group Users set as
well as MPR "Security group management: Users can read selected attributes of group resources".
The help desk users can update users in the Portal with no issue. The can search groups with no issue but when they try to add members to a group they get the error "Access Denied".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm having very similar problem - I have users with delegated right to modify group membership only. User can add someone to group and it works fine, but when the same user is trying to remove and user from a group (even if this is the same user
which was added a minute ago) he gets Access Denied:
The
request included members which the requestor is not authorized
to add and/or remove from this group."
It is caused by default MPR:
Group management workflow: Validate requestor on remove member
Question is how this activity validates this request - any insight?

User account is removed from a Active directory security group (server 2008 R2) after a day

Hello !
i add many times a user in a AD security group, but the user is removed automatically after a day. What i don't understand is that other users have been added to the same group but they are still in the group (there is no problem with their accounts).
To add this user that is always removed after a day (or a period), i use the member of tab in the account properties.
Right click on the user account -> properties-> member of -> add -> groupName->ok
Thank you for your help !!

How to query members of 'Local Administrators' group in all computers?

Script needed to query last logon for users within an AD security group

Hi all,
I'm looking for a vbscript that will query a specific AD security group, and export the following information into an Excel document:
1. Full name of the user.
2. A timestamp of the last logon for each user.
Any help would be great.

At the moment I'm using a batch script to attempt to query a few different security groups. Below is a line from the script:
dsquery group -samid <group name> | dsquery * -filter "&(objectClass=person)(ObjectCategory=user)" -attr cn lastLogonTimestamp
There a two issues with the command.
1. The results aren't being pulled from the security group specified.
2. The timestamp is in an unreadable format. I've understand this needs to be converted?
The Powershell option looks handy, but sadly the clients environment is Server 2003 based with no Powershell option.

Security Refresh for Users in the Group

Hi John,
I assigned an user with Analytic services admin privileges in the shared services. After the refresh security from shared services through EAS console, I clicked on security and clicked on users. I could able to see that user as an administrator(user type).
But when i assigned the same analytic services admin privileges at the group level, all the users in that group are
not showing as administrators in the EAS console after security refresh.(showing as user instead of administrator).
Can you explain why?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you look at the group in EAS then it should be displayed as administrator, then all the users assigned to that group will take on the administrator privileges.
It will not show each user as as administrator just as a user that is the way it works.
Cheers
John

AD security groups listed in user groups in Config Manager however not listed when selecting values for the "System Resource - System Group Name" query

Morning All,
We are in the process of setting up our SCCM 2012 infrastructure and are experiencing issues with our device collection querys based on AD security groups.
I can see the security groups are being updated per adsgdis.log - i can see the computers that are members of the groups in AD are being recorded in the same log. Issue is when we build the device collection query - click the value button for the string,
only 2 of the 18 AD security groups are displayed. These are 2 AD groups we setup initially to test.
We have since added several additional yet they only appear to populate as user groups in config manager.
The same goes for additional OUs that we have created with AD.
When i click the value button only the initial 10 OUs that were created are populating in the list of applicable OUs.
We have the discovery methods Group Discovery & System Discovery enabled and set to search the parent OU recursively
I'm wondering if there might be an SQL issue with this as it initially worked but stopped...
Additionally we added an OU recently that now appears in in the Values options in the query but the ones added previously and additionally after are not showing up....
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Given the adsgdis.log lists the new pc and the group it's assigned to it appears the AD group discovery is working.
Have the following excert from the adsgdis.log
INFO: Processing discovered group object with ADsPath = 'LDAP://************.****.COM/CN=Software - Microsoft Project Professional 2010 x64,OU=Software,OU=US-West,DC=*****,DC=com' SMS_AD_SECURITY_GROUP_DISCOVERY_AGENT 10/4/2012 7:08:13 AM 8180

Here you can see it processes the new members in the Software - Microsoft Project Professional 2010 x64 group and captures Thurmanwin7vm as a member.
I did find some log entries that reference permission issues with objects in the SQL database and have opened a case with MS to get that looked into. Hopefully that will be where the issue lies.
